Some people propose that the ultimate method of making the general public healthier is to build more places where they play sports,
while others believe this initiative is futile and other policies are warranted (Giới thiệu 2 views). In this answer, I will discuss the
rationales behind these two views before showing why I favor the latter. (Nêu ý kiến bản thân – đồng tình với ý View 2)

3.3. Đoạn Kết bài (Conclusion)
In conclusion, having more places where people can participate in sporting activities is always welcome, but it is not by any stretch the
optimal way to improve public health. Instead, a combination of steps is needed to holistically enhance people’s health and prevent
diseases.
There seems to be an increasing number of serious crimes committed each year. While some think the
best way is to use the death penalty as a deterrent, many people believe that other measures will be
needed. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
The number of people committing serious offenses has been increasing every year. Some people suppose that using the
death sentence can be an effective deterrent while many people contend that imposing other strict punishments on
committed crimes will be needed. Personally, I side with the former.
4. Practice
Some people believe that giving longer prison sentences is the best way to reduce crime. Others believe that there are better
ways to reduce crime. Discuss both views and give your opinion
Some people suppose that imposing longer prison punishment can be an effective method to decline committed crimes
while many people contend that other deterrent methods will be needed. Personally, I side with the latter.
On the one hand, extending more time for imprisonment can act as a deterrent because it can reduce the level of
committing crimes again. To be more specific, feeling afraid of being in jail for a longer time would make them think twice
before engaging in any criminal activities. Keeping crime offenders in jails and away from society for longer would provide
a secure environment for the public, reducing the immediate threat they can pose.
However, I side with those who say that the aforementioned approach would bring about little results if any. First, applying
longer prisons can cause many difficulties for crime control due to the limited space and number of jails. The increasing
prison time means that more resources need to be spent such as food and beverage, and workforce. Hence, imposing
suitable punishments for each crime case would be more efficient. For example, serious crimes such as murders should
be sentenced to death while education can apply for cases of juvenile delinquency. Besides, if minor crimes such as
shoplifting or pickpocketing are sentenced as same as other serious crimes, they will raise hatred due to the unfair
punishment. Some of them also can be affected negatively when being imprisoned with other serious crimes, leading to
worsening possibilities of committing serious crimes.
In conclusion, prisoning crimes longer is always welcome, but it is not the optimal way to decline crimes. Instead, a
combination of other deterrence is needed to prevent committing crimes.
However, I side with those who say that the aforementioned approach would bring about little results if any.

Some people think that physical strength is important for success in sports, while other people think
that mental strength is more important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some people suppose that building strength in sports determines athletes’ success while others contend
that mental durability is more crucial. Personally, I side with the latter.
On the one hand, it is undeniable that physical strength enhances athletes’ capabilities such as speed,
power, and endurance which are significantly important in sports. For example, in a weightlifting
match, athletes able to lift heavier weights with accurate poses can have a higher chance to win; or in
other sports demanding a higher level of endurance such as boxing or marathons, a dramatical
advantage in competitions will be given to who are stronger or faster. Therefore, people could not
perform at a high level without strong physical fitness.
However, I side with those who say that mental toughness plays an essential role in achieving
accomplishments in sports. Having a strong mental skill is needed to maintain athletes’ consistently
high performance over a long season or during their strict training, especially when coping with
setbacks such as defeats or severe injuries. It means that those who can overcome failures or are
resilient in their work probably gain the highest prize. Furthermore, concentration and performance
under high pressure are required in the sport to reach the peak. For instance, the ability to maintain
composure when executing a penalty shoot while being watched by thousands of audiences is needed
to win the match, or in sports requiring a high level of precise such as archery or shooting, the athletes
are demanded to stay focus and control stable emotions to perform well.
In conclusion, although building physical strength is essential in sports performance, I would argue that
practice to have mental toughness is needed when pursuing a sporting career successfully.
Daily life:
Some people suppose that doing physical sports is considered as the most crucial for the overall health
while others claim that mental health plays a more essential role in our life. Personally, I side with the
latter.
On the one hand, it is undeniable that physical activities can do wonders for people HEALTH of all
ages. First, frequently doing physical exercises can help them to keep fit and tone UP muscles. These
days, people tend to BE MORE concerned about appearance so having a fitted body can help them to
be more confident and take advantage OF some kinds of jobs such as actors, singers or in finding
partners. Besides, physical sports can contribute to a decline in the level of potential diseases such as
diabetes, heart attack or lower blood pressure, especially for elderly people. People working in the
office who seem to spend hours sitting will easily get diseases RELATED TO THE immune system, so
activities to break the sweat can be considered as an effective way to prevent those health matters and
strengthen their resistance ability towards viruses.
However, I side with those who say that the aforementioned approach would bring about little results if
any. Facing tremendous workloads and pressure of making ends meet seem to make everyone drained.
Slower exercises for mental health such as yoga, meditation is a way to help them unwind and reset
their thinking, leading to a positive lifestyle. In fact, having strong mental health can assist people to
overcome any hardship and adversity circumstances. There are many disabled or injured people feeling
low self-esteem about themselves, rejecting to integrate into society. Besides, the increase of
committing suicide among juveniles recently is because of ignoring mental issues. Thus, training to
own stronger mental health can enhance their confidence.
In conclusion, physical sports are always a good way for people who want to process a strong physical
health, but it is not the only optimal way to improve overall fitness. Instead, maintaining a healthy spirit
is needed for a happy longevity life.
However, I side with those who say that the aforementioned approach would bring about little results if any.
Brainstorm:
Physical strength: does wonders for the body and muscles in general, reduces potential diseases such as
diabetes, heart attack. Sweaty activities can contribute to refreshing thinking, forstering brain functions.
Physical activities -> strengthen the resistance ability towards viruses, especially the immune system in the
pandemic. Corona pandemic
Mental health->Overcome adversity, hardship, and injuries.
